''Scooby-Doo: Mystery Mayhem'' was a video game based on ''Franchise/ScoobyDoo'' released in 2003 for the UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance and in 2004 for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2 and UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}}.

Both the handheld and console versions of the game have the story of Mystery, Inc. investigating a standard case at Hambridge University before discovering that a mysterious organization is using an enchanted book called the Tome of Doom to unleash real ghosts and other supernatural creatures upon the world. It is up to the gang to use the Tome of Doom to recapture all the monsters and ghosts and solve the mystery of who's doing this.
----
!!Tropes:
* AsteroidsMonster: In the Game Boy Advance version, the boss fight against the Fire Ghost has him split into smaller ghosts when the Tome of Doom is used on him. After he's been split into the smallest ghosts fought in the game, those can then be captured in the Tome of Doom.
* BigBad: The main villain of the game is Selena Drake, who uses the Tome of Doom to assist in her plan to mind-control the world.
* FinalBoss: The last boss fought in both versions is the Fire Ghost summoned by Selena Drake.
* IdenticalTwinIDTag: The second level features the Milton Brothers, a pair of twins who work as movie directors. To tell them apart, Earl Milton has a goatee and wears an orange jacket as well as a yellow-green beret and scarf, while Doug has a moustache and wears a dark green jacket as well as a blue beret and scarf.
* LaughTrack: Both the console version and the handheld version of the game have canned laughter accompany the jokes made in the cutscenes.
* MadScientist: Selena Drake's goal is to use a machine to control everyone's minds.
* MythologyGag: The Tome of Doom looks similar to Sarah Ravencroft's spellbook from ''WesternAnimation/ScoobyDooAndTheWitchsGhost''.
* ScoobyDooHoax: The first three levels end with unmasking a criminal disguised as a monster. The first level has Walter Peabody disguised as a ghost, the second level has Robert Zabrinski disguised as the Red Knight, and the third level has Mindi Stiles disguised as a Native American woman (a Southern belle in the Game Boy Advance version).
* WolfpackBoss: The boss fight of the penultimate level has Shaggy and Scooby using the Tome of Doom to capture a bunch of zombie enemies.
